It is a unique, unoaked blend of the main grape varieties from Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo - Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão - a wine with an authentic and intense flavor that demonstrates it doesn't need barrel aging to be sophisticated.
Its ruby color and its youthful, exuberant, and mineral aroma, a magnificent balance between fruit, dense structure, and alcohol, prove that the character of the Douro fits entirely within a single bottle of wine, with unparalleled richness and volume.
In Portugal, this wine is consistently one of the best examples of unoaked wines, a promise that can be enjoyed early on or kept in the garrafeira and aged for another five to seven years.
